Mark Hines: 1000 mile Yukon Trail on foot & unsupported:We are proud to support arctic ultra-marathon runner, adventurer, writer and physiologist, Mark Hines. MercatorGear.com provides Mark with KOVEA's specialist ultra-light stoves as well as technical advice and support for several of his upcoming expeditions in Alaska, Yukon and the Himalayas. Further details on Mark's extreme adventures, research and writing are available on his website www.markhines.org, FaceBook page and Twitter feed.

In March 2016 after 39 days, Mark completed the 1000 mile Yukon Quest Trail from Fairbanks Alaska, to Whitehorse, Yukon in Canada. The trail is normally undertaken by dog-sled teams, but Mark became the first person on record to have completed the trail on foot and unsupported in this tough, isolated and deep frozen wilderness. For all his snow melting needs on this grueling adventure, Mark used our KOVEA Booster+1 stove which worked flawlessly every time, even down to minus 30oC (-22oF).

UPDATE March 2017: Mark is setting out on a 3,500mile fatbike trip from Tuktoyaktuk on the icebound arctic coast of Canada, to Vancouver. You can read all about it here, and you can follow his progess on his SPOT Tracker, here

UPDATE September 2017: Mark has just completed an epic 3,000 mile trans-European paddle board and cycle journey from London to the Black Sea! Read all about his astonishing journey here: Plus article and pictures in "Total SUP: Defying the Danube"

The KOVEA Stoves which Mark has used and tested in extreme conditions over the last 2 years include:

Spider: Best all rounder for short-mid duration expeditions in sub-zero conditions, or longer durations in more termperate climates.

Mt Blackburn Kite Surfing Expedition, Alaska

KOVEA and MercatorGear supported the innovative and daring German expedition to make the first ever kite-assisted attempt on America's 5th highest mountain, the remote 4,996m Mt Blackburn, Alaska. Temperatures at the glacier base camp were regularly below minus 20oC (-4oF), and the team relied on the KOVEA Booster+1 expedition stoves to melt snow for every drop of water required over the three week period.

At high altitude camps where conditions were more extreme, the guys also used KOVEA Alpine Pot Wide for rapid water boiling and the KOVEA Spider for light weight, low temperature / high altitude usage.
